Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the final had to be played behind closed doors. There were however about 200 people in the stadium as part of the organisers, media, and security inside the stadium beside the players and officials.

Chennaiyin FC drew 2-2 with NorthEast United FC in Assam's Guwahati on Tuesday (February 25, 2020) to end their league engagements on the fourth spot and will now take FC Goa in the play-offs of the Indian Super League. Masih Saighani fired Chennaiyin into the lead (17th minute) before two goals in either half by Martin Chaves (43rd, 71st) seemed to have handed all three points for NorthEast United. But a late equaliser from Lallianzuala Chhangte (90+3rd) ensured the away side took a point.
